Intended Use
The LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay is a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) to be used with the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of type specific IgG antibodies to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) in human serum, The assay is indicated for testing sexually active adults or expectant mothers to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-1 infection. The LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay has not been established for use in the pediatrics population, for neonatal screening, or for testing immunocompromised patients. The assay is neither FDA cleared nor approved for testing blood or plasma donors. The LIAISON® Control HSV-1 (negative and positive) are intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay.
Device Description
The method for qualitative determination of specific IgG to HSV-1 is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). HSV-1 gG1recombinant antigen is used for coating magnetic particles (solid phase) and a mouse monoclonal antibody is linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation. HSV-1 antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with HSV-1 IgG already bound to the solid phase. After each incubation the unbound material is removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is thus induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of HSV-1 IgG present in calibrators, samples or controls.
More Information

No
The device description details a standard chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) process. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational methods beyond basic signal processing for RLU measurement. The performance studies are based on traditional statistical analysis of assay results compared to a predicate device and a reference method (Western Blot).

No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay used to detect antibodies, aiding in the diagnosis of HSV-1 infection. It does not provide any treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the assay is "to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of HSV-1 infection."

No

The device description clearly outlines a chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) that uses magnetic particles, antibodies, and a LIAISON® Analyzer to measure light signals. This involves physical reagents and a dedicated hardware analyzer, not just software.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative determination of type specific IgG antibodies to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1) in human serum." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (serum) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a person's health status (presence of HSV-1 antibodies).
  • Device Description: The description details a "chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA)" method that uses reagents and a solid phase to detect antibodies in a sample. This is a typical in vitro diagnostic technique.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing human serum samples and comparing the results to a predicate device, which is also an IVD (Immunoblot).
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics reported (Sensitivity, Specificity, Predictive Values) are standard performance measures for IVD assays.

The entire description aligns with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Studies were conducted which compared the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay to an FDA cleared Immunoblot. The studies were conducted on 951 samples collected in the Northeastern United States. The samples were classified as "At risk" samples (n=401) from Sexually Active Adults (at risk for a Sexually Transmitted Disease), Expectant Mothers (n=430) and a Low Prevalence population (n=120) from patients seen at the clinic for anything other than an STD. The studies were conducted at two (2) independent external laboratories.

The sample populations were divided between site 1 and site 2 for LIAISON® HSV-1 testing. Site 1 tested a total of 460 samples (201 Sexually Active Adults. 199 Expectant Mothers and 60 Low Prevalence). Site 2 tested a total of 491 samples (200 Sexually Active Adults, 231 Expectant Mothers and 60 Low Prevalence). Site 3 tested a total of 951 samples (401 Sexually Active Adults, 430 Expectant Mothers and 120 Low Prevalence) with the FDA cleared Immunoblot.

Equivocal samples were repeat tested as per the Instructions for Use. Any repeat Equivocal samples on the predicate device were sent to a Reference Laboratory in the Pacific Northwest for Western Blot testing. The Western Blot results are included in the tables. All results are expressed as sensitivity and specificity with exact 95% Confidence Intervals.

§ 866.3305 Herpes simplex virus serological assays.

(a)
Identification. Herpes simplex virus serological assays are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in various serological tests to identify antibodies to herpes simplex virus in serum. Additionally, some of the assays consist of herpes simplex virus antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent assays) used to identify herpes simplex virus directly from clinical specimens or tissue culture isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Herpes simplex viral infections range from common and mild lesions of the skin and mucous membranes to a severe form of encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Neonatal herpes virus infections range from a mild infection to a severe generalized disease with a fatal outcome.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's revised guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays.” For availability of the guidance revised document, see § 866.1(e).

CDC PANEL:

A serum panel was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and tested by the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay. The results are presented as a means of conveying further information on the performance of this assay with a characterized serum panel. This does not imply an endorsement of the assay by the CDC.

The panel consisted of 52% positive and 48% negative samples. The LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay demonstrated 100% positive agreement with the CDC positive results (52/52) and 93.75% negative agreement with the CDC negative results (45/48). There were three false positive results obtained with the Liaison HSV-1 Type specific assay.

Conclusion: The LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG showed equivalent performance to the FDA cleared comparison method.

The results demonstrate that the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG assay can be used with the LIAISON® Analyzer for the qualitative determination of specific IgG antibodies to Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 in human serum samples.

EXPECTED VALUES:

The prevalence may vary depending upon geographical location, age, gender, type of test employed, specimen collection and handling procedures as well as clinical history of the patient.

The observed and the hypothetical predictive values for the sexually active adults, expectant mothers, and low prevalence populations are shown below. The positive predictive value (PPV) will decrease proportionally to the prevalence of HSV-1 infection as reflected in the table. The calculations are based on LIAISON® HSV-1 positive and negative agreements of 96.9% and 91.3%, respectively, in a sexually active adult population, 98.7% and 93.7%, respectively, in an expectant mothers population, and 96.8% and 100%, respectively, in a low prevalence population.

REPRODUCIBILITY:

A reproducibility/precision study was conducted at two external laboratories and at DiaSorin Inc. This study included 3 LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG Specific IgG Reagent Integral kit lots and 3 LIAISON® Analyzers. Each site used a different lot of the LIAISON® HSV-1 Type Specific IgG for the study.

A coded panel comprised of 8 frozen "engineered" serum samples was prepared by DiaSorin Inc. and provided to the sites. The coded panel samples were prepared using neat positive serum or by blending positive and negative serum samples to achieve high negative, equivocal, low positive and high positive results. The LIAISON® Control HSV-1 set were also included in the 5 day study. All panel members were divided into aliquots and stored frozen prior to testing. The CLSI document EP15-A2 was consulted in the preparation of the testing protocol.

The coded panel was tested at all three sites, using four replicates per run in two runs per day with different operators performing each run during five operating days. The mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation (%CV) of the results were computed for each of the tested specimens for each of the sites and across sites,
